Where can I find the icon files for "save" and "open" buttons on Mac OSX?

I am looking for icons in Cocoa for "save" and "open" buttons (floppy disk icon / opened folder icon) that are commonly used.

I searched the following path, as suggested: /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources

However, I couldn't find any default icons for "save" and "open" buttons.

Are there any default system icons for these two buttons?

Solution

  • I think you are looking for the standard icons kGenericFloppyIcon and kOpenFolderIcon. You can obtain an NSImage for these using code like:

    NSImage *folderIcon = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] iconForFileType:NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode(kOpenFolderIcon)];

    To see (most?) of the standard icons you can use Apple's IconCollection sample code.
